“…Thus, a number of novel PAIs have been readily prepared using this convenient technique by our laboratory 29. Recently, the synthesis of soluble aromatic polyamides and polyimides bearing triphenylamine units in the main chain based on N , N ′‐bis(4‐aminophenyl)‐ N , N ′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine,30,31 N , N ‐bis(4‐aminophenyl)‐ N ′, N ′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine,32,33 N , N ′‐bis(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐ N , N ′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine,34 and N , N ‐bis(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐ N ′, N ′‐diphenyl‐1,4‐phenylenediamine,35 respectively, have been reported. Because of the incorporation of bulky, propeller‐shaped triphenylamine units along the polymer backbone, all the polymers are amorphous, show good solubility in many aprotic solvents, good film‐forming capability, and exhibit high thermal stability.…”
